I’d have to say Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone. It has character, humor, pathos, mystery, and is written in a language that readers young and old can follow without feeling it’s written for someone other than them. It is complicated and yet quite simple. It also has accomplished the great feat of getting non-readers to want to read. It’s an amazing book for so many reasons.

If you could have any superpower what would you choose?

I would choose to fly. Of all the super powers it is the most freeing. Who would not want to soar among the clouds without the fear of crashing to earth?

If you could meet one person who has died who would you choose?

My mother’s mother—my grandmother—who died before I was born. I know very little about my mother’s family except that at some point native Americans inter-married with freed slaves. I see “Indian” names in my family tree and wonder how it all came about.

Please tell us in one sentence only, why we should read your book.

I am not good at the elevator pitch, so let’s try this: If you enjoy paranormal, you should read The Falling Angels Saga because reviewers tell me mine is a different take on paranormal and that it’s quite good.

Tell us your most rewarding experience since being published

I’ve been blessed to have been published for a long time. One of the greatest feelings I can recall is going to the airport to pick up a friend, and stopping in one of the shops there and seeing my first novel taking up several spots on the paperback original wall. Man, did I feel special. I can’t say it was a rewarding experience, but it gave me the feeling that I had arrived, and that maybe I could do anything I put my mind to.

What was your favorite book when you were a child/teen?

I read Casino Royale when I was 12 and got hooked on adult books. I borrowed it from my father. I also read a book called A Stone For Danny Fisher that I borrowed from my mother’s “locked” library. After reading these I didn’t read another teen book until someone told me to read Judy Blume.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

I do live exactly where I want to live. Southern California. The best place to live in the world.

How did you know you should become an author?

I’d wanted to become a writer since I was 10 years old. I can’t remember what told me this was my career choice. For me, it was just something I knew. Writing always seemed to be a part of me. When I graduated college I started writing for film and television. It was well-paying and rewarding, but I knew I would return to books. Like I said, it’s just something I always knew.

Favorite Food?

That’s a tough question for a person who loves to eat. I have to name two: red beans and rice, and pizza.

If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 things would you bring?

My ipad for sure. Even if there was no internet I’d have a boatload of good reads to keep my mind nimble until I was rescued… or the battery died. I would also say pencil and paper—to write down my experiences… or memoirs. If I was forewarned, I’d bring some fishing equipment along. I love to fish, and what better way to pass the time than reading, writing, fishing… and sipping tequila. I know you said three, but what the heck. LOL.

Can you share a little about the current title you are working on?

Currently I am not working on anything. I decided to take a little break to recharge my batteries. I suppose when I finish recharging I will start writing the last book in The Falling Angels Saga. This one will be different than the others as I have a feeling Megan turns into a dark character and maybe even consorts with demons.

Falling Angels Saga Book Three
By E Van Lowe

Genre: Paranormal YA

What Does It All Mean?

Readers who devoured Boyfriend From Hell and Earth Angel will be captivated by the third book in the Falling Angels Saga.

As summer break for Glendale Union high begins, heartsick Megan awaits Guy's return while struggling to control her emerging abilities. Love is in the air, but can the new loves in Megan, Maudrina, Suze and Aunt' Jaz's life be trusted? Nothing is what it seems. Meanwhile, the Satanists are set to hatch their most diabolical scheme ever, and if it comes to pass, Satan may finally win out.

Megan has precious little time to unravel the cryptic message hidden in the riddle she received at the end of Earth Angel. If she doesn’t, the life of someone most dear to her will be lost forever, and Megan may yet find herself living in HELL.

Just because Megan Barnett recently defeated Satan, has a fantastic new best friend, and has won the love of deliciously handsome, Guy Matson, doesn’t mean her troubles are over. Far from it. For Megan doesn’t realize it, but in her possession is a powerful weapon, a weapon sought after by both angels and demons and everything in between. They will do ANYTHING to get it.

In E. Van Lowe’s humorous, romantic and thrilling sequel to Boyfriend From Hell, Megan winds up in a gripping life or death battle to save herself, the boy she loves, and all of mankind from unthinkable evil.

Aww, Hell No!
Fifteen year-old Megan Barnett and her single mom, Suze, have a special relationship—they are friends, close friends, who do almost everything together.
“But come on, guys, she’s my mother… Can I really tell her that while we’re snuggled up on the sofa watching Spider Man Three, I’m secretly undressing James Franco with my eyes? Of course not…”
The special bond takes a turn for the worse when Suze decides to start dating again. She hasn’t had a man in her life since Megan’s father left ten years ago.
Enter two mysterious young men, Megan’s new classmate, sinfully attractive bad boy, Guy Matson, and the dangerously handsome art dealer, Armando. Before long Megan and Suze both wind up in steamy relationships. But neither of the handsome guys is quite what he seems. In fact, one of them is Satan, with his sights set on a new bride. Megan has precious little time to figure out how to stop him. If she doesn’t, either Megan or Suze are quite literally going to HELL.
